The impact of HIV AIDS on the work of the Kenyan community nurses, implications for training

Abstract

The purpose of training is to decrease fear of AIDS and create positive attitudes towards PWAS. The objective of this thesis is to determine whether there is a difference between nurses trained in HIV/AIDS relative to nurses without this training in any of the following areas: (a) Their sense of being at risk of HIV infection due to the conditions at work? (b) Their attitudes towards caring for persons with AIDS?
